OUR STORY​

Digital advertising agencies and marketers have traditionally used programmatic video placement to put a brand message inside living rooms, bedrooms and boardrooms via cellphones and computers. So we asked the question, "If brands can use this technology to generate leads that close a sale, why can't we use this same technology for investigators to generate leads that close a case?" To answer this question Programmatic Investigations was created.

Over the past few years we have studied the trends and ethics of Big Data, online video and it's application towards consumer marketing on the internet. The statistics show that programmatic placement of video content is the most effective way to engage a hyper-targeted audience and call them to action. No matter if it's an active shooting, open investigation, or "cold case", our Digital Canvass™videos will get your message to "closed door" communities that typically are difficult for detectives to reach.

Programmatic Investigations is now bringing the power of programmatic placement of video content to over 15,000 law enforcement agencies across the country. Our goal is to help reduce crime, create safer neighborhoods and to build stronger relationships between the public and law enforcement.

With our Digital Canvass™, we provide a unique social media tool to help investigators solve their most challenging and pressing cases.

TOPHER HOPKINS

FOUNDER | CEO

As a Producer, Director and Cinematographer for documentary television, including the The First 48, Live Rescue and Crime 360, I've seen the challenges communities face when attempting to keep violent criminals off their streets. Frustrated I was doing little to prevent future violent crimes, I developed the Digital Canvass™, a tool to help bridge the communication gap between investigators, communities and witnesses. It's my goal that communities and LEA will use this innovation in their fight for victim justice and for living peaceful lives.

Our Pilot Campaign with the San Bernardino Police Department included three homicide cases and has provided excellent results. Check out our Case Study and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or to discuss your campaign needs.
